Hands-On Software Architecture with Golang

By: Jyotiswarup Raiturkar

Overview of this book

Building software requires careful planning and architectural considerations; Golang was developed with a fresh perspective on building next-generation applications on the cloud with distributed and concurrent computing concerns. Hands-On Software Architecture with Golang starts with a brief introduction to architectural elements, Go, and a case study to demonstrate architectural principles. You'll then move on to look at code-level aspects such as modularity, class design, and constructs specific to Golang and implementation of design patterns. As you make your way through the chapters, you'll explore the core objectives of architecture such as effectively managing complexity, scalability, and reliability of software systems. You'll also work through creating distributed systems and their communication before moving on to modeling and scaling of data. In the concluding chapters, you'll learn to deploy architectures and plan the migration of applications from other languages. By the end of this book, you will have gained insight into various design and architectural patterns, which will enable you to create robust, scalable architecture using Golang.

CICD

The continuous integration, continuous delivery (CICD) model was defined by Tim Fitz in his seminal book Continuous Delivery: Reliable Software Releases through Build, Test, and Deployment Automation in 2010. Essentially, it mandates an automated pipeline which can take new code, perform required checks/builds, and then deploy it in production. Such a system is a prerequisite for high-feature velocity development that is typical of most modern applications.

This section describes the concepts behind CICD. It describes a simple implementation and then deep dives into Go tooling which can aid in building CICD pipelines.

Overview

The CICD approach advocates the following:

  • Continuous integration—continuous merging...
